mountain woman
dressed in deerhide
sewn with sinew thread
and
a needle made of bone.
She is
Weathered,
Rugged,
a Fragile Human
under all her tough exterior.
She learned to skin a rabbit
before she could read.
After she learned to read,
She could still skin a rabbit.
mountain woman,
plain,
Jane,
I want to call her.
I think I knew her in another time
in the North Country.
